Sen. Bob Corker may share values and a name with that other known conservative "Bob" -- Road Rage Bob Novak -- but the buck stops there. Kinda.

Unlike many pols, Bob Corker's a guy you wouldn't mind running into when he's behind the wheel. And unlike many of these Pols Behind The Wheel stories, this one's positive - which may make it boring but it's all about rewarding good drivers.

This morning The Tenneessee Senator was driving near the Hart Building in his black Land Rover, or "humming by" as it was described to us. The passerby stopped and waited for Corker to drive past and that polite Tenneessean waved and thanked the passerby for letting him drive by. Altogether now: Aww.

That is the most dumb ass comment I have ever read. As a citizen of Tennessee, a Capital Hill worker for a non-Tennessee Congressman, and someone who grew up in the most democratic district of Tennessee, I resent any comments made against a Senator who id respresenting his state well.

I have to agree with D - I believe Novak was diagnosed with his brain tumor shortly after that accident. Obviously, no one knows for sure if there's a direct cause and effect, but it's not really something I'd ever want to joke about.
As for Corker, he follows the trail blazed by Lamar! as a completely insubstantial back-bencher.

The only thing wrong with this story is that Senator Corker is driving a gas hog Land Rover. While not as vocal as some about wanting to let the auto industry fail, he's not setting the best example of "buy American?
